5.0/10

A white rum that according to my notes probably was meant for fruit punch. Notes: Sharp Fruits Spices Additional note "Definitely not a sipper".

Relatively thin, little flavor, flat, light cinnamon notes, seems a bit sweetened.

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 250 Rums

Demerara Distillers is the company that ended up holding everything. As Guyana's only surviving rum maker, its Diamond plant runs the world's last wooden pot stills and the last wooden Coffey still alongside modern columns, draws 24 different marks from them, and blends them into El Dorado. It is also the reason most Demerara on the shelf comes from one address.
